What Is A Tapas Restaurant?
Many Americans have a taste for Spanish food, so knowing what is a tapas restaurant is has become a neccesity. Tapas restaurants are known for serving small. often bite size, snacks that can be consumed hot or cold, and similar to appetizers.
In Spain tapas restaurants are a part of Spanish culture. In the tapas restaurants of today the whole meal is a combination of bite sized snacks, intended to have less concentration on food and encourage conversation between patrons.. Every town in Spain has tapa bars or stalls, ready to serve food and good converse.
There are a few theories on the development of the tapa ritual. Spain consisted of farmers that did hard work all day. In order to keep them energized small portions of snacks were eaten. It is said that tapas tradition originated by these rustics.
There has been another Spanish tradition in which diners covered their sweetened sherry with slices of bread or ham to keep flies away. This was later adopted by bar owners as mid drinking snacks called tapa. Increase in alcohol sale encouraged them to turn this into a style called tapa.
The most famous is historic event in which Spanish King Alfonso X was made to eat a little with every sip of wine due to some ailment. Later when he got cured, he announced snacks to be had with wine. This gained fame because it protected the stomach from negative affects of liquor giving birth to the tapa tradition.

AMD Launches AMD Embedded R-Series APU Platform
AMD today launched the AMD Embedded R-Series accelerated processing unit (APU) platform. Designed for mid- to high-end graphics-intensive applications such as digital signage, casino gaming, point-of-sale systems and kiosks, as well as parallel-processing-intensive applications spanning medical imaging and security/surveillance, the AMD Embedded R-Series APU combines the new "Piledriver" CPU architecture, an evolution of the "Bulldozer" architecture, with discrete-class, DirectX 11-capable AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series graphics in a heterogeneous multicore embedded processing platform.
"AMD pioneered the embedded APU to offer our customers a high-performance, power-efficient, small form-factor embedded processor," said Buddy Broeker, director, AMD Embedded Solutions. "With the AMD Embedded R-Series, we are taking our APU technology to the next level. By leveraging its seamlessly integrated heterogeneous system architecture, developers can tap into a high-performance and efficient parallel processing engine to accelerate their graphics- and compute-intensive applications, all while using industry-standard libraries such as OpenCL and DirectCompute."
The AMD Embedded R-Series APU integrates dedicated resources that enable exceptional performance with shared resources to help reduce power consumption and die space. Because of its scalability, the new APU provides developers with the flexibility to leverage the same board design and software stack for a variety of applications. And with its discrete-class graphics integrated into the processor, applications that previously required a separate graphics processor or card now can be delivered on a wide range of form factors. Developers working with the AMD Embedded R-Series APU can implement remote management, client virtualization and security capabilities to help reduce deployment costs and increase security and reliability of their AMD R-Series based platform through AMD DAS 1.0 featuring DASH 1.1, AMD Virtualization and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support.
"In VDC's opinion, the AMD Embedded R-Series APU capitalizes on a number of trends around hardware integration and software development. It combines a CPU and GPU in a heterogeneous multicore platform and provides software migration through tools like OpenCL," said Jonathan Hastings, analyst with VDC Research Group. "This product provides a new platform for developers building graphics-intensive embedded applications that require HD video or realistic and interactive 3D effects, as well as compute-intensive applications that can benefit from high-performance parallel processing."
Multimedia enhancements available for the AMD Embedded R-Series APU include:
- A video compression engine that provides a dedicated hardware encoder for video to quickly and efficiently encode video for applications like video conferencing or surveillance;
- A Secure Asset Management unit that allows for GPU-assisted encryption/decryption of content, enabling less CPU overhead and lower power when dealing with protected content;
- Enhancements to the Unified Video Decoder that extend the capabilities of the AMD Embedded R-Series APU platform to include dual, high-definition decode and stereoscopic 3D.
For applications that benefit from multiple displays, such as casino gaming or video walls in digital signage, the AMD Embedded R-Series APU supports connection to four independent displays, which can be utilized to display four independent video feeds or a single video feed distributed across a four-panel display. By adding a discrete AMD Radeon Embedded graphics card to the system, the number of independent displays can increase up to 10.
"AMD's embedded technologies are an important part of our strategy in developing a broad range of powerful solutions across a variety of industries including infotainment, medical imaging and more," said, Dirk Finstel, CTO of Kontron. "We are excited about taking full advantage of the more powerful AMD Embedded R-Series APUs in our designs."
Edward Price, managing director of Advantech-Innocore said, "The AMD Embedded R-Series platform delivers a good combination of high-performance integrated 3D graphics, relatively low power consumption, and a full x16 PCIe graphics slot for high end, flexible graphics solutions along with the essential product lifecycle required for our industry sector. A good price/performance combination is key for us in order to offer leading edge technology to the casino gaming market. Advantech-Innocore is convinced that the graphics performance of the new AMD Embedded R-Series APU will provide an exciting solution for many of our customers."
A variety of AMD customers are announcing market-ready products incorporating the AMD Embedded R-Series APU Platform today including:
- Advantech-Innocore -- System solution for high-performance casino gaming applications
- Axiomtek -- High-performance MiniITX motherboard
- Congatec -- High-performance COM Express module
- DFI -- High-performance COM Express module
- iBase -- System solution for high-performance digital signage applications
- J&W IPC -- Custom form factor embedded motherboard with support for up to 10 DisplayPort displays
- Quixant -- System solution for high-performance casino gaming applications
- SHENZHEN XINZHIXIN -- High-performance MiniITX motherboard

- What a great experience! I went in to browse and found a ring I HAD to have. The staff was so helpful and didn't pressure me one bit. I slept on the decision a few days. When I went back in I talked with quit a few people in the store. Finally I took the plunge and bought it. I couldn't be happier and get a LOT of compliments. I would recommend this store for their knowledge, even if you don't want an antique style jewelry; they have lots of other pieces too. Go in and chat; you will learn a lot about jewelry! Review by Melissa S. (Posted on 10/22/2012)
- I couldn't be happier with my experience. Gesner provided excellent customer service and fast delivery. My engagement ring is beyond gorgeous, and the quality is superb. After they resized it at no cost, it fits perfectly. I've never seen another ring like it! Review by Jessica (Posted on 2/22/2013)
- Gesner was great! I was nervous to buy an engagement ring online, but it got here and not only was it prettier than the pictures, it checked out to be exactly what Gesner said it was. Thanks guys! Review by Brandy G. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I knew as soon as I got the ring it was perfect. I couldn't wait and proposed the same day. She said yes and loves the ring. She says it is perfect and exactly what she wanted. Thank you so much! We love it! Review by Nicholas M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
I have to say, the pictures on your website did not do the ring justice. It
was far more beautiful than I expected! Review by Dan D. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- For my 10th Anniversary my husband said I could get a antique wedding ring like I had always wanted. I spent months searching online for the perfect one. I viewed many rings on the Gesner website but I was very nervous about buying an antique ring online. However, the staff at Gesner was very helpful, friendly and professional. The response from the company was always prompt either by email or phone. I was so pleased with the high level of customer service! Then I received the ring and it was more beautiful than what it looked like in the pictures. I am so pleased with my ring and look forward to wearing it for many years to come. I would highly recommend Gesner Estate Jewelry!!! If you are nervous about buying online just call them, the staff is amazing! I also want to personally thank Erik who was very knowledgeable and helpful through the whole process with me. Furthermore with his professionalism is what made me choose Gesner! Review by Valerie P. (Posted on 8/15/2012)
Thank you for your great customer service and beautiful ring. My local appraiser confirmed the ring's information and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The ring is absolutely stunning and I cannot wait to give the ring to my Significant Other.
I hope we do business again!
Jon Leston Review by Jon Leston (Posted on 9/8/2015)
Thanks again, Frank! You and your store are a dream to work with!
Review by Leah L. (Posted on 5/29/2012)
- I highly recommend GESNER'S jewelry for any type of stones or watches. I recently traded in my Rolex towards another Rolex, and felt honestly that I got a great deal. Thank You, Frank for being the professional you are! Review by Chris B. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
I wanted to send a belated though enthusiastic thank you for all your assistance in finding the perfect engagement ring for my wife-to-be. I had a seemingly endless litany of questions and what turned out to be unfounded concerns, and you were generous with your time addressing all of my queries. You were also right when you noted that photos simply didn't do the ring justice – a sentiment my fiancee and all those who have seen the ring echo! The engagement ring is absolutely beautiful! Thanks again!

I would highly recommend this hotel for travelers on a budget looking for convenience, quality and an extremely friendly staff! Room was small, but didn't expect anything different from a NYC hotel. Staff was very helpful in suggestions of restaurants and always welcoming. The breakfast was satisfying with many choices. Midtown location is just a short walk to Times Square, Madison Square Garden and Penn Station to access the subway on 34th Street and 9th Avenue. Overall, great hotel and experience!

roobin_22422 times the use of the word fuck, which makes it 4th on the list of films that most frequently uses the word of fuck 6 years 7 months ago
fonzFrom the Mean Streets of Goodfellas, Marty Scorsese's second entry in his Mafia Outsiders trilogy ends with a direct tie-in to The Wolf of Wall Street. Ace Rothstein laments the disappearance of the Las Vegas that he was the king of: "And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids? Junk bonds." In some ways better than I remember it to be, in other ways worse. As a companion piece to Goodfellas, it seems like a poor carbon copy, but taken as a part of a greater film cycle (if you include Mean Streets and The Wolf, it fits right in with what Scorsese does better than most other filmmakers: make a three-hour picture feel at least two-thirds of its length, have a great soundtrack, have a scumbag lead character that commits illegal acts and mostly gets away clean, excessive use of the word "fuck".
Scorsese takes dark worlds and makes them look like great fun. When someone gets whacked, they had it coming, there is no impact of their death, but the way it was carried out is the shocker (a head in a vice, baseball bats and being buried alive).
Most notable about this picture is that this is the last time Robert De Niro and Scorsese teamed up (after 8 marvelous collaborations), the last time Joe Pesci made a significant impact in a movie of any significance, ditto for Sharon Stone. Most significant for me is that for the longest time I thought that Georges Delerue's "Theme de Camille" was native to this picture because its use is so perfect it could not be any other way. It was only years ago when I finally saw Contempt that I realized Scorsese's use of the track was an homage to Godard, who uses it a bit too much in that movie. 11 months 1 week ago
SiskoidA little non-plussed by it, to tell you the truth. Scorsese's notion that the film, just like Las Vegas, is about excess - excessive colors, cutting, music (wall to wall), voice over... - is at once its problem and its reprieve. 6 months 3 weeks ago

he Quintessentially Questionable Query Experiment
Sorry, Todd! Yesterday was nuts at work, so I didn't get to this. But here it is today! Here is Todd's revised query for TERMS OF THE INNOCENTS, this time with my feedback, in blue.
The letter:
Dear (Agent),
Preston Taylor is wise-ass seventeen-year-old who thinks he is smarter than the homeless-teens why is this hyphenated? he encounters in Salt Lake City, because his problems aren't permanent—but he eventually learns that he is just like them. He's looking for his adult brother who moved out years ago to flee from their mother's heroin addiction. When she disappears after another binge, Preston is on his own. The street-kids also this? he meets abuse drugs, eat whatever they can find, and sell their bodies to survive.
He doesn't give a damn about their problems at first, because he is above their plight—he knows that his brother will take him in. I would probably cut this. It probably works fine in the manuscript, as Preston's character arc has more time to develop there, but in the query this just makes him sound like an asshole. When he befriends Zack Ellison, a young street-wise prostitute, Hmm. Is Zack truly a professional sex worker? Or does he turn the occasional trick out of desperation? I suppose it depends on the story, but if he's underage, I'd be careful about how you label him. Preston starts to feel like a big brother himself. Cut this too. You're just bogging down the conflict at this point. Preston makes it to his brother's last known address only to find that he has moved, leaving him permanently homeless. When Zack begs him to accompany him as a lookout on a date with a notorious John, Preston reluctantly agrees. Zack emerges from the trick broken and bleeding, and despite Preston's attempt to save him, he disappears into the night and is never seen again.
The biggest problem I have with this, honestly, at least at first glance, is that this is one giant chunk of text. This one paragraph is 188 words long. Can you break it up anywhere? Maybe after "… his brother will take him in?"
Otherwise, this is certainly an improvement, but you might want to re-arrange things here and there, and try to tighten it up a bit. Maybe something like:
"Seventeen-year-old wise-ass Preston Taylor assumes he's smarter than the homeless teens that choke the alleys and gutters of downtown Salt Lake, because his personal housing crisis isn't permanent, but when he can't find his adult brother after their mother disappears on another black tar heroin binge, he quickly discovers exactly how much they have in common."
It's kind of a long sentence, I know, and you can probably do better, and make it in your own voice, but the point I'm trying to make here is that you can convey much more specificity in far fewer words, if you think about how to present and order the information. Also, avoid state-of-being verbs if you can. Avoid them in all your writing wherever possible. They're just boring.
People look away from desperate teens in this beautiful city with
its the pristine Mormon temple at the center its heart, and it pisses Preston off. He must even the score with this John even if it jeopardizes his survival risks/endangers his life?. He arranges a date and, while fighting to not be violently assaulted defending himself from a violent assault like Zack's, accidentally kills him the man. Preston's tragedy is the evidence that he feels everyone in this city must see, even if it means sacrificing his life.
Why is it sacrificing his life? Didn't he just defend his own life? If you mean turning himself in, he might not be charged, and even if he was, that would only cost him his freedom, not his life.
TERMS OF THE INNOCENTS is a 61,000 word YA manuscript. An earlier version of this story won second place in the Utah Arts Council Creative Writing Competition.
I have two other titles published on iUniverse, and one title published by their Star imprint. I write commercial and radio copy, and am a well-known radio personality in Salt Lake City under the name Todd Nuke 'Em. I have done presentations for the Utah Library Association and the Salt Lake City Library for my previous books.
The first five pages are below, and the entire manuscript is available upon request. Thank you for your consideration.
Todd Noker
In summary, this is definitely an improvement. You've got a better sense of Preston as a character, and the conflict he finds himself caught up in is much clearer here. Mainly, what I see this query needing at this point is mostly just a copy editor's eye. You've got some extraneous information that isn't really necessary, and the sentences are sometimes a little bloated or unclear. But all in all I think this is pretty good, and it's much more obvious now that you have a compelling premise on your hands.
That's it!
Please thank Todd for sharing this with us, and let us know what you think in the comments.

My food dehydrator has been working up a storm this past week as I've been transforming pounds and pounds of tomatoes and jars of applesauce into very, very dry versions of their former selves. I love dehydrating foods, and here are just a few of the reasons why.
- Dehydrated fruits and veggies have intense, INTENSE! flavors! Each thin slice of dehydrated tomato packs a wallop of flavor that you don't find in a fresh slice. Something amazing happens to the flavor once all the water has been removed.
- It offers something different in the healthy snack category. My kids are loving the applesauce fruit leather they made themselves. They never get bored because one day it's apple-cinnamon leather, another day it's apple-peach leather, and a tasty apple-strawberry version is on tap for tomorrow! A #10 can of applesauce from Sam's Club or Costco provides sheets and sheets of fruit leather, one of the easiest snacks in the world to pack in a lunch bag or backpack.
- Something is always in season! The best bargains in produce are usually found when a particular fruit or vegetable is in season. Farmer's markets, food co-ops, fruit stands, and pick-your-own-produce farms can offer amazing bargains. All that fresh goodness is easily transformed into dehydrated versions at a cost far less than commercially dehydrated foods.
- Food dehydration is simple! Basic dehydrators can be picked up on Craigslist or eBay. You don't need anything fancy. My dehydrator is very basic, but it does the job just fine. Unlike canning, you don't need a lot of additional equipment, and the internet is filled with websites that give directions for dehydrating every type of food imaginable!
- Variety! One day you can dehydrate apples and the next, pasta sauce! Cook up several pounds of ground beef and turn them into, "hamburger rocks"! When you find #10 cans of a fruit or veggie on sale, pour out the liquid, and place the food on your dehydrator trays for a few hours. Bags of frozen vegetables dehydrate just as easily.
- Dehydrated foods don't lose their nutritional value and maintain water soluble vitamins and minerals.
- Dehydrate your own herbs and you'll never have to pay top dollar for them again nor watch them rot in the fridge.
- If space is an issue, dehydrated foods are your friend! Twenty pounds of fresh tomatoes filled two large glass jars in my pantry once they were sliced and dehydrated!
- You'll never have to run to the grocery store at the last minute for carrots or onions or potatoes or celery or green beans if you have jars of the dehydrated versions in your pantry.
If you have a garden and expect a decent harvest this year, put food dehydration on the top of your To Learn list! Once you're past the initial purchase of the dehydrator, it's just a matter of looking for bargains at the grocery store and then getting busy!

sjoshuagruber: Let me see. First, it was going to be day 1, then the first 100 days, then July 4, now by "summer's end", according to Pence. Maybe the Republicans don't understand that health care is more than undoing Obamacare and "replacing" it with something that a) cuts back care, b) offers lower premiums that might as well mean no insurance, c) cutting taxes for the rich, d) allowing insurers to refuse to cover existing conditions, and d) pushing co-pays and deductibles through the roof. And Cruz says "not far enough". No wonder there is pushback. How stupid...how arrogant.

text: Record Gold Prices: Sell or Hoard? 27 October, 2010 The last quarter of 2010 will go down in the books as establishing a new record gold price. In fact, it established "a new record" several times. The price is still rising. So is it time to sell or time to hoard? Let's look at several things. We all know the price of gold reacts to how people feel about the stability of currency and the economy. If the mood is confident (which would be reflected with a rosy U.S. Consumer Confidence report as well as retail and home sales) it's because Americans are feeling good about the value of their dollars and inflation holds steady as the money circulates in the economy. They spend, put money in the stock market and sometimes "invest" in big screen tv's and iPods. But if lack of confidence strikes, they buy gold as a hedge against inflation. They start to buy or hoard gold "just in case." The price shoots up, but there can be back and forth play between buying and selling. Should Americans rush out to sell gold? Selling is up by those who are suffering economically and are using sales of family heirlooms to pay current expenses. Until the economy recovers, this may continue. For them, it's an ideal time to sell. What about for businesses? Yes, for a business such as a pawnshop or dental lab, the time is also right because the prices being paid at Manhattan Gold & Silver are at record highs because of the new gold peaks. Your business may take in gold and sell it a short time later and reap a small benefit. Holding onto gold supplies makes little sense for a small business which is every bit as likely to lose money by holding assets. Regular scrapping of metals on a monthly or weekly basis will cost average your sales. There is no need to stress over fluctuating gold prices. It's the same as steady investing; you will yield better returns and will not lose any sleep. In fact, it's potentially dangerous because prices can fall. Will the price improve? Possibly, but in between are wild swings, downtrends and other unpredictable moments. Make your best deal possible and go with it, factoring in your own needs such as closing your books at the end of the year, taxes and expectations for your business in the coming months. The most common question to us at Manhattan Gold & Silver, what do we think gold is going to do? If we had this answer, we would be answering these questions from the beach with a margarita in hand! Gold Prices Grab The Headlines, But is Silver Still a Good Investment? 22 October, 2010 It's easy to see why so many people are investing in gold. Lately, it seems as if gold prices are continuously on the rise. And as long as the economy is weak, gold investment may be a good investment for the foreseeable future. While gold has grabbed the headlines, silver may be a good investment vehicle as well. In fact, since January, silver has outpaced gold as an investment. If you had purchased $100 worth of silver, it would now be worth $146. A gold investment of the same amount would only get you to the $126 mark today. Silver may continue to be a good investment for a few different reasons. As the price of gold rises, silver also rises as an alternative to paper currency and as an investment option. Also, silver is used more commonly within industrial commodities. This makes silver more expensive as a whole. So while much of the world has been recycling their gold at record prices, now may be a great time to invest in silver. Those without the means to invest may have silver pieces that will fetch a higher price if brought in for recycling as compared to the past. Manhattan Gold and Silver recycles silver, gold and other precious metals (B2B). In many cases, you can have a transaction settled within minutes of stepping through the door. Visit our physical location or contact us for more information about our precious metal refining services. Recycling E Waste May Become Very Profitable in the Future 15 October, 2010 With the increase in the amount of computers and other devices which contain precious metals, a recent study is speculating that E waste recycling could become a $21 Billion industry by 2020. In 2009, the E waste recycling industry topped $6.9 Billion. E Waste consists of gold and other precious metals that can be found in computers, mobile phones, televisions and other electronic devices. Advances in technology reduce the lifecycle of these devices which increases the demand for newer, up to date models. Old models are simply discarded because it is cheaper to do so. China and India are slated to have the biggest booms for potential E Waste recycling, because so much of the product is produced and purchased there. An increase in waste is common for growing economies like those of China and India. Software producing companies and countries also contribute to the increasing E Waste problem. The demand for high tech devices puts more strain on software manufacturers to keep up. More complicated software requires more sophisticated machines to produce them. So as the software changes and becomes more high tech, the software companies must purchase larger, faster and more high tech computers, servers and other devices to keep up. The recently published study is available for purchase from GBI Research. << Older Newer12Older

TEXAS Follows Through On Execution Of Illegal Alien Murderer Despite Intense Protests From Mexico
"Legally" taking a life, no matter how deprived isn't an easy task. However as harsh as the death penalty is, in that there are no "do overs," it is a necessary ingredient within any civil society.
Especially when America is facing an epidemic of carnage inflected by thousands of illegal criminal aliens, and a federal government that has done little in protecting the rights of average American citizens.
Moreover this is the end result of willful malfeasance by those within the highest office of the federal government…and in particular President Obama, who has all but abdicated is responsibility as Commander and Chief, in protecting the homeland.
Despite those political talking heads like Jeb Bush, who claims that few illegal immigrants are violent criminals, the DHS says otherwise, in that nearly 70,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records have been detained, without being deported…that's 70,000!
Texas recently made headlines for executing one such immigrant, who ended up murdering a Baylor University history professor and attacking his wife, after entering the States.
The man, Ramiro Hernadez-Llamas, was lethally injected at the age of 44, in a death chamber in Huntsville, Texas.
Hernadez-Llamas was guilty of slaying Glen Lich, who had employed him just 10 days earlier to work on renovations of his ranch property. Hernadez-Llamas proceeded to beat Lich to death with a piece of steel rebar, and then continued on to attack Lich's wife with a knife. She was ultimately the one to testify against him.

In the late 1990s, CRM systems were launched to help organizations become customer-centric, to manage customer relationships from end to end, through marketing to sales to customer service, and to provide a "360-degree view of the customer." For a variety of reasons (overselling, lack of proper adoption, missing functionality), they never lived up to many companies' expectations, and so CRM got a poor reputation. I recently wrote that customer experience management has undergone significant change in the last 18 months, taking over the role of helping organizations become customer-centric, and that CRM vendors have played a part in these changes. Some of the larger ones have, in my view, taken a backward step by breaking CRM into three components to support marketing, sales and customer service; this makes it harder to support the end-to-end customer life cycle.

During a recent briefing with NGData, I was initially put off by excessive "marketing speak." The team began by describing its product, Lily Enterprise, as a "customer experience operating system." Being used to having operating systems run entire computers, I wasn't sure what this meant. This term was followed by a statement that NGData's products help companies transition from being "B2C to C2B," that is, to put the customer first, an idea that has been around for several years but in my experience few companies achieve. One of the biggest challenges in this regard is that most companies are organized into business groups, and each business group typically has its own processes, systems and metrics, a situation that makes it hard to have a single view of the customer and take actions based on the same customer view, and which lends itself to focusing on internal goals, not the customer. As an example, our research into next-generation customer engagement shows three key impediments to delivering exceptional customer experiences: systems that are not integrated (for 49% of organizations), communication channels managed as silos (47%) and customers receiving inconsistent responses at different touch points. The root cause of all these is data – customer data. Organizations have multiple systems that generate customer data, in multiple forms: for example, structured data in CRM and ERP systems, voice recordings, text data from multiple sources (letters, email, Web scripts, text messages, chat scripts and social media posts), video and event data such as a customer downloading a film. With so much data in so many formats, it is hard for companies to generate a single, "360 degree" view of the customer that can be shared across the whole organization.

Evaluagent is a U.K.-based company founded in 2012 that is carving out a niche in the workforce optimization market. Whereas most WFO vendors offer broad portfolios of products that focus on operational efficiency to reduce the cost of agents, Evaluagent's narrower portfolio focuses on the people side of interaction handling, particularly agent engagement and satisfaction. The company's founders had in-depth operational experience of contact centers, and they set out to improve the job experience for agents over what they had encountered, which included cramped working conditions, demanding performance targets, hard-to-use systems and, worst of all, customers often shouting down the phone at them.
Topics: Customer Engagement, Customer Experience, Analytics, Cloud Computing, Customer Service, Call Center, Contact Center, agent engagement
Over the years, our benchmark research studies on contact center systems have shown that larger centers use dedicated contact center systems to support their operations nearly twice as often as centers that have fewer than 250 seats. Smaller centers typically lack budgets and technical skills to deploy and operate such systems. This situation is evident in the tools commonly used to support workforce management and analytics; smaller centers most often use spreadsheets. While spreadsheets have their place in limited ad hoc analysis for small groups, in an environment such as a contact center, they cause issues with regard to ingesting data from multiple sources and providing analysis in real time.

Ventana Research has published its Workforce Optimization 2016 Value Index. The Value Index provides a comprehensive evaluation of contact center workforce optimization vendors based on responses to our RFP-like questionnaire, which was constructed using insights gained from our recent benchmark research into workforce optimization and our knowledge of the market. In our definition workforce optimization systems include interaction recording, agent quality management, workforce management, agent compensation management, training and coaching, and interaction-handling analytics. The research shows that organizations have deployed many of these applications and by doing so have achieved efficiencies in handling interactions, improved outcomes of those interactions and improved both customer and employee satisfaction.
Topics: Mobile Technology, Cloud Computing, Call Center, Customer Performance Management (CPM)
I recently wrote that companies are struggling to provide omnichannel customer experiences and digital customer service is now seen as a business differentiator. To address these issues, organizations need to change how they use people and processes, and deploy innovative technologies that can support new initiatives. To provide an enterprise-wide solution, contact center systems fall into four categories: communications, business applications, analytics and self-service. Our benchmark research into next-generation contact center systems in the cloud shows which types of systems companies have deployed, which they plan to deploy in the next 24 months and whether they prefer them to be on-premises or cloud-based.
Topics: Social Media, Mobile Technology, Cloud Computing, Uncategorized, Call Center, Customer Performance Management (CPM)
In today's intensely competitive markets, companies must strive to meet customer expectations during every interaction, and interactions occur through many channels. Our benchmark research into next-generation customer engagement finds that customers use up to 17 channels of engagement. Some channels involve assisted service from employees of the company, and some use self-service technologies such as interactive voice response (IVR), websites, mobile apps and social media, also known as digital service. Although the use of self-service is increasing, the research finds that organizations still expect volumes of assisted interactions to grow, albeit more slowly. The research also shows that the employees customers interact with may work in almost any line of business, including marketing, sales, the contact center, finance and human resources. These challenges require organizations to focus on people, processes, information and technology to optimize the performance of the workforce.
Topics: Mobile Technology, Cloud Computing, Uncategorized, Call Center, Customer Performance Management (CPM)
In our benchmark research into the next-generation contact center in the cloud more than two-thirds (69%) of organizations said they need to improve customer service, and market dynamics require them to do this is in new ways. Whereas today most (83%) compete on the services they offer, over the next two years 70 percent said they expect customer experience to be the top way they will compete, and nearly half (46%) said they expect to compete through self-service, digital channels. There is no doubt that consumers have changed the ways they prefer to communicate with each other and with companies. Mobile devices have become ubiquitous, and many consumers prefer to use chat-based technologies and mobile apps to engage. That is not to say that phone use is obsolete, as the research shows it and email are the most widely supported channels (each by 92% of companies), and while use of the corporate website (cited by 41%) is expected to show the greatest growth, more than one-fifth (22%) of participants said that the volume of inbound calls will show significant growth. Thus organizations must handle customer interactions across a variety of communication channels to maintain the business of all demographic groups.

NICE Systems was one of the first vendors I started to cover when I joined Ventana Research more than 11 years ago. Back then it was a pure-play vendor of workforce optimization (WFO) systems and was creating a portfolio of products by developing its own systems and acquiring niche vendors of call recording, quality management, workforce management, performance management and analytics. Over the years its portfolio has grown with new features, improved integration between the component parts, centralized administration and management capabilities, and a standard, modern user interface. The latest version of its core Workforce Optimization product was rated a Hot vendor in our 2015 WFO Value Index. It is still undergoing development, and a new version is being marketed as Adaptive WFO as it uses analytics to become more information-driven.
Topics: Big Data, Business Analytics, Cloud Computing, Uncategorized, Call Center, Customer Performance Management (CPM)
I have been involved in the contact center industry for more than 25 years and often see organizations that are slow in keeping up with consumers' expectations; many of them seem reluctant to change, regardless of the need to do so. For example, agents of my cell phone operator ask the same four questions at the start of a call as they did 30 years ago; my bank supports several channels of communication, but it doesn't provide the same information on all channels; and a well-known airline couldn't tell me where my bag was for 36 hours (it was at the airport where I departed!). My list goes on, and I am sure you have your own.
